Raspberry “Buttermilk” Cake

All summer long I have been buying basket after basket of berries with the intention of making delicious desserts with them. Without fail it seems like by the time I turn around they are gone, eaten before I can do anything with them. And I am as much to blame as anyone else in my [...]

Chocolate Peanut Butter Mousse Cake

by Shoshana on November 5, 2010 · 14 comments

The excited “look they have Reese’s” exclamations last week of both trick-or-treaters and their parents reminded me just how popular the combination of peanut butter and chocolate really are among people of all ages.

I have to admit that this week’s cake was not my favorite. I loved the Seville orange curd but the cake itself was a bit dry. Maybe I didn’t put enough of the syrup, but I think I would have liked it better as a three layer cake with two layers of the curd to [...]

As someone who always loves a good flourless chocolate cake I was excited to try this week’s Heavenly Cake Baker recipe, Baby Chocolate Oblivions. The recipe called for the cakes to be baked in silicone cupcake pans, so I decided to use silicone rose pans about the same size and was thrilled with how they [...]

Lemon Blueberry Upside-Down Cake

by Shoshana on July 16, 2009 · 5 comments

One of my all time favorite cakes is a blueberry lemon almond upside down cake. This moist delicious cake has a delicate lemon and almond flavor with a sugary crunch on top from caramelized blueberries that makes you want just another little slice more. It can make normally restrained people decide that cake makes a [...]
